Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

[Parkbandit]

I'm loving reading all of these comments from European leaders saying they back Zelenski against the big bad orange man.

Hey, Europe. Just go ahead and agree to pay Ukraine's tab of 350 billion dollars to the US and promise to pay the US for all future spending on Ukraine and this problem would be solved. Oh, right, no, you want to virtue signal while the US pays for everything, just like you always do.

They should pony up the 350 billion dollars and send us a check. That way they can actually be as committed as they claim they are.

So because Russia says something preposterous you blame Trump for trying to find peace?

When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, what did Obama and the West do about it? Nothing except some meaningless sanctions.

Whoa... didn't he draw a red line.. then when it was crossed, he did nothing because he's a typical limp wristed liberal? Or was that Syria?

When Russia again invaded Ukraine while Biden was President, the whole world thought Russia would steamroll Ukraine in a matter of days. The only reason that didn’t happen was because of US arms supplied to Ukraine during Trump’s first term.

In your infinite internet wisdom, tell us ClydeR…how do you propose this war end? Should we get into direct conflict with Russia (who has intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles) and take a hard stance like Churchill? Should we just continue down the same path of giving Ukraine a blank check until every Ukrainian man, woman, and child is dead?

cLyDeR just wants to get back to where we wear masks all day and everyone stays at home. THAT was the best time of his little life.

Sorta like how we forgot that NATO will not expand and will never get closer to Russian borders.......

Exactly. Most people have no idea about this though.

If the U.S. President is going to assume the role of mediator, I would expect it to be in good faith, without conceding major points in advance and demanding specific sacrifices from Ukraine while demanding nothing from Russia. Trump's behavior is diplomatic malpractice.

And what do you demand of Russia? Ukraine is going to have to accept territorial loss for Russia to consider a peace deal. I don’t like it, you don’t like it, Putin doesn’t deserve it…but they have occupied land & are winning the war. You can posture & virtue signal that Russia should leave Ukraine and pay war reparations, but that ain’t gonna happen.

UK Prime Minster in regards to helping Ukraine:

"The UK is prepared to back this, with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others. Europe must do the heavy lifting. But to support peace in our continent and to succeed this effort must have strong US backing."

I love it. "Europe must do the heavy lifting! But we can't do it unless the US helps out and spends their hundreds of billions of dollars in annual military funding and send it our way!"

Also if you recognize that Ukraine is pretty much fucked without US support, even with Europe "doing the heavy lifting", perhaps you should talk to your boy Zelensky and tell him to play nice with Trump. Even if you disagree with Trump's tactics and think he's a meanie head, what good is it to piss him off while at the same time admitting Europe can't do shit by itself and that they need the US?

They can't afford to do anything since they have spent all their money housing illegals and tracking down and arresting those horrible meme makers online. Just more virtue signaling BS.

Damn, Little Marco sure has grown up. He's just spitting facts left and right.

I can't watch Marco Rubio now without noticing his gigantic ears.

And now you won't either.

And what do you demand of Russia?

First, Russia needs to return the 20,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped and taken to Russia. I bet Trump hasn't even raised that issue with Russia, since it doesn't involve money going into his pocket.
